商品簡介
Chinese acrobat and magician Long Tack Sam overcame isolationism, poverty, cultural and linguistic barriers, extreme racism, and world wars to become one of the most successful vaudeville acts of his time. So why don't we know anything about him? His great-granddaughter, Ann Marie Fleming, has traveled the globe to find out why. The result is a stunning visual portrait of one man's fascinating life, drawn from anecdotes and memories from friends, family, acrobats, and magicians, and interwoven with gorgeous archival material. A richly textured illustrated memoir, The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam is also a celebration of Long Tack Sam's magic and art - and a prismatic tour through the twentieth century.
